Feinstein: NRA is ?venal? ? CNN Political Ticker ...

“The House Republican majority is made up mostly of members who are in sharply gerrymandered districts that are very safely Republican and may not feel compelled to pay attention to broad-based public opinion, because what they're really concerned about is the opinions of their specific Republican constituencies,” the president said in an interview with The New Republic.

God forbid a representative be more concerned with what his/her constituents want rather than what other people want...

Another quote I find humorous:

Obama also said he can get 50 percent of public support for many of his upcoming initiatives, but “I can't get enough votes out of the House of Representatives to actually get something passed..."

He gets that if 50% are for something that 50% are against it, too... right?

Why does Feinstein and others ignore the fact that everyone that has stolen firearms or used firearms to commit mass murder has not been a Republican or NRA member but a Democrat or came from a family of liberal Democrats?

Plot the murders on a map of the US and then overlay that with a map of the US that shows Republican areas vs. Democratic areas. The murders are largely concentrated in the Democratically governed areas (ironically, mostly under strict gun control laws already). They want to blame the Republicans and NRA, but the issues are largely concentrated in areas that are neither. I also fail to see why Republican representatives following the will of the people they represent is a problem. They just continue to expose their ignorance time and time again.
